Sounds like you might describing a soft seize,?
After it cools, does it run better?
I'm not thinking any new air-cooled vehicle should require an oil cooler?
Stig

After it cools it tops out at maybe 37 mph instead of the 35 mph.

It pretty much never has the power. Yes it does seem a little weaker after a 20 minute ride. But even when I first start it up it tops out around 35 MPH

It only has around 800 miles. I'm not sure if the previous owner ever checked them or not.

I can add that to my to do list.

I'm going to check it's compression tonight too, does anyone know what the compression should be?

My Kymco Kpipe has lost a lot of its power. It maxes out around 35 mph instead of the 50-55 it used to get. It actually maxes out in 3rd gear for the most part, and when I change to 4th gear don't get much more speed at all.

I've cleaned /rebuilt the carbs, and cleaned the air filter.

Any suggestions as to what to check next?

It starts right up, and I have it idling around 1.5k
